Hate from deep within In 1938, millions of Germans were brainwashed and taught to hate and kill Jews. Some of these Germans were good citizens and good people. It's just that society has distorted their minds. America once had this problem where morality and society's beliefs were two different things. This issue was about slavery. Until the Civil War and several decades afterward, black people were less than citizens and servants. It was commonly accepted and expected to hand over a runaway slave or treat a black person like a farm animal. It is for this reason that racism appeared in society. It became clear that blacks were an inferior race. Mark Twain shows a time like this, a time when racism not only affected slave owners, but also people with good morals and even black people themselves. It shows us that racism was not something we could get rid of. In a society marked by racism and slavery, even good people still look like bad people with no morals. In his book Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain shows that racism runs deeper than in the hearts of slave owners, but also deep within society, ordinary citizens, citizens of good character and even black people themselves . Twain shows how widespread racism is in society by portraying characters who are deeply opposed to black people. One thing to note first is that the word nigger is used throughout this book. This word is used as much in common as the word black is today. First of all, the word nigger is a degrading term. By making this word so common in Huckleberry Finn, Twain shows how common this racist belief is. The pronunciation of this word by each character in this book shows the unconscious racism that lies within. The first deeply racist character in this book is Huck's father. There is one instance where Huck's father even complains about a mixed-race man. Huck's father is not only angry because this mixed man is a professor, but also because he can even vote. “When they told me there was a state in this country where they would let this Negro vote, I withdrew,” he said (VI). The father also complains that the man does not get out of his way just because he is mixed race. This racism is not only in Huck's father.
